What is the secret to entering the Kingdom of God?

Truly, all those who complete these four preliminary stages to the realization of God-consciousness—cultivating pure moral discipline, becoming non-violent, recognizing the supremacy of God, and preserving life by not taking it away from human beings, whether white, black, yellow, red, or mixed race, nor from land and water animals, nor from plants, from blades of grass to the tall trees that shelter many living beings—achieve the state of enlightenment and draw near to God.

It is impossible for anyone who sheds the blood of human beings, land animals, and aquatic animals, and destroys plants, to enter the kingdom of God.

It is impossible for anyone who eats meat, fish, and eggs to approach God.

It is impossible for impersonalists, for all those who believe that God is only Pure Spirit, Pure Energy, who refuse to believe that God has a fully spiritual body in human form, and who refuse to pronounce His Holy Name, to enter the kingdom of God. Upon their death, they will emerge from their useless material body, lose their second ethereal body, and become mere spiritual sparks again, which will merge into the radiance that composes the sky of the spiritual world.

Blessed are those who know that the Lord personally guides His pure devotee on the path of spiritual realization, through their constant commitment to loving and devoted service to Him, and through the spontaneous affection they feel for the Lord.

Being conscious of God, loving Him, obeying Him, delighting in doing His divine will, and serving Him with love and devotion—this is the secret that allows one to enter the kingdom of God.

Those who are there take immense pleasure in offering Him wonderful songs, playing with Him, singing with Him, hearing Him play His sublime flute beautifully, and dancing to the melodious sound that emanates from it for eternity.

Learning to know God as He truly is, to love Him, to obey Him, and to serve Him with love and devotion, allows one to purify one's being, and by the grace of the Lord, to see ignorance of the facts relating to absolute truth, suffering, and death disappear, and eternal life appear.

Loving God, renewing the bond that unites us to Him, linking our desires, interests, and plans to His, abandoning ourselves totally to Him, and serving Him with love and devotion—these are the keys that allow one to enter the infinite, absolute, and eternal kingdom of God.

All those who enter the kingdom of God never return to the material universe.
